What an incredible day at Innovation Fest 2026 at Birmingham City University STEAMhouse yesterday! π
As part of this yearβs festival programme, @createchfrontiers was proud to host our showcase panel:
βFrom Prototype to Partnership: Powering CreaTech Innovation Through Collaboration.β
The session explored how collaboration between academia, industry, creatives, and innovators can transform early-stage ideas into real-world impact, a conversation that felt especially relevant as immersive and creative technologies continue to evolve at pace.
Chaired by Prof. Lamberto Coccioli, Director of CreaTech Frontiers, the panel brought together an inspiring group of speakers from across the creative technology ecosystem:
β¨ Pamela Aculey and Alex Kosminsky, Co-Founders of @mixd_realityltd Reality, shared insights into building inclusive and immersive AR storytelling experiences that bridge technology, education, and accessibility.
β¨ Jennine Jones, Student Enterprise Manager at Birmingham City University, highlighted the importance of nurturing entrepreneurial talent and supporting innovation pathways for emerging creatives and founders.
β¨ John Sewell, Founder of @cosimoartonline , discussed the role digital innovation can play in creating more accessible and sustainable opportunities for artists and creative communities.
β¨ Wenge Xu, Senior Lecturer at Birmingham City University, reflected on the growing importance of collaboration between research, education, and industry in shaping future-facing creative technologies.
